The Challenge
Law firms and corporate legal departments face unique email challenges:
Litigation holds
that freeze deletion across matters
eDiscovery requests
requiring rapid, comprehensive search
Chain of custody
documentation for court admissibility
Cost control
for discovery in large matters
When litigation hits, you need instant access to years of email history - searchable, exportable, defensible.

Semantic Search: Find What Keywords Miss
Traditional keyword search misses relevant emails when terminology varies:
| Search Term | Traditional | Semantic (Piler) |
|---|---|---|
| "contract breach" | Only exact matches | Also finds "violated agreement", "failed to deliver" |
| "project deadline" | Only exact matches | Also finds "due date", "delivery schedule" |
| "confidential" | Only exact matches | Also finds "private", "not for distribution" |
AI-powered search runs entirely on-premise - no email content sent to external services.
Why Self-Hosted Matters for Legal
| Concern | Cloud Solutions | Piler Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Client Data | Stored with vendor | Your servers only |
| Subpoena Risk | Vendor may be compelled | Direct control |
| Privilege Review | Data leaves your network | Stays in-house |
| International | US CLOUD Act exposure | Data sovereignty |
| Conflicts | Vendor serves all clients | Your infrastructure |
